All right, folks. Admit it. Somewhere in your vast collections of comic
books, there are moments between Wolverine and Jubilee that stand out.
The scenes that you read over and over again because they manage to
perfectly capture the essence of the Canuck and Firecracker's relationship.
Well, we want to hear them. So, I welcome you to email
me your favorite moments between Wolverine and Jubilee, and I will
post them here.

Just goes to show that the rapport between Wolvie and Jubes never dims,
even in the face of death...my heart also just stopped when Wolvie heard
that she was on the cross, and wigged...I'd thought maybe he'd forgotten
about her during the past million issues, but seeing the way he jumped
to her side like that and acted onnit...tho i think marvel should play
up his guilt about "not being there" a little more...definitely
upped his character points from my perspective.

They find his old car and they're sitting in it and jubilee's digging
around in the glove compartment, etc. and wolverine says something like
'Careful, there might be souvineers.' and jubilee gives him
this horrified look and says "Oh my god, i better not find any
panties in here..." and he gives her a smile and says "
I ment grenades."

One
of my favorite moments are in Wolverine 146 when Jubilee finally managed
to stop Wolvie from killing them all:

"Time
for the hard choices "bub". You want to go after them you'll
have to go through me first! You ready to do that Wolvie? You have always
been there for me Logan--You've talked me out of some pretty dark spots
in my life. Kept me from doing things I know I'd regretted later. Don't
you think it's about time you let me return the favor? Logan you know
I always been there for you. From when I first found you, nailed to
the crucifix in the australian outback to when Magneto ripped out your
adamantium on Avalon! Please let me--let us help you now! Or was all
those combat games in the woods surrounding the mansion really just
fun and games with nothing more at stake than a couple of rounds down
at Harry's hideaway?"

I think that the scene really showes that Jubilee is rellay the only
one that can stop Wolvie even when he has been into one of the four
horsemen of Apocalypse....

How about after Mariko
and Silver Fox died; Wolverine was trying to find a way to deal with
everything and was in the Danger Room reliving some of the events. Professor
Xavier had reservations about Wolverine's method of counseling - basically
calling it Childish. Jubilee defended him:

Jubilee: "--um..."

Prof. X: "...what is
it Jubilee?"

Jubilee: "Golly gee
whiz Professor Xavier...I sure am sorry that Wolvie isn't a superior
human being who can work out his problems internally like you -- isn't
it like a crying shame that he has to resort to kicking over garbage
cans and punching brick walls like the rest of us cerebrally underdeveloped
homo-inferiors -- Gosh, it must be really terrific to have that much
control over your emotions, but I guess that's what comes with all that
brain-power, huh?"

Of course Jubilee is
always the first to defend Wolvie, but this shows that she doesn't care
who it is she's talking to or facing...even if it's Professor Xavier.

On the Blackbird, after
Jubilee saved Wolverine from his "Death" persona, he was running around
nude. Jubes made a comment to Kitty about perferring her Logan with
clothes on. Then he, with all his glory out, walked past her. For the
first time she, ever, she had nothind to say.

The other time was around
the time Magik died and they were at the lake and Wolverine was comforting
her, you even have a pix of that in the art gallery under the Wolvie
and Jubes collection.

One of my favorite lines
is in Wolverine #90. Jubilee is actually not in the issue but as Boomer
skips on down to walk Sabes back to his room she takes his hand. Wolverine
lookes at that and says "In all these years has Jubilee ever talken
my hand like that? No."

It one of the solid
examples of just how deep his feelings may run for her.

One of my favorite moments
occurs in Wolverine, I'm not sure which issue. Jubilee finally confronts
the two men who killed her parents and Wolverine is there to back her
up. She wants to kill them like Wolvie would have, but he makes her
see that killing them would hurt her more. I like how he was there for
her and how he showed her another way to handle her anger and grief.

Along with the obvious
#251-252 be sure to pick up #257, 258, and 261 as well for the story
of what happens afterwards. (Assuming you don't already have 'em!) I've
always been partial to Logan's Madripoor adventures as "Patch" and in
these he and Jubilee head to his old tramping grounds. The portrayal
of Jubilee is particularly interesting as she switches back and forth
between hot-tempered (and sometimes petty) teen and passionate, protective
friend who worries about the fact that Logan seems to be hallucinating
and talking to invisible friends.

(BTW, if anyone knows
more about what's going on with Nick Fury and Carol Danvers in these
issues, I'd love to hear it. Very strange.)

In #257 while Jubilee
sits across the room, Logan explains their situation to Landau, Luckman,
and Lake's Rose -- a simple, gruff acknowledgement of how much he owes
his newfound teenaged friend.

Rose: I must confess,
though, you have looked better.... How bad?

Logan: Bad as it gets,
across the board.

Rose: Youngster?

Logan: Lifeline. Without
her, I wouldn't be here. Without her...I won't be goin' on.

[In reference to Logan's
letter to Jubilee at the end of Wolverine #75] ... certainly one of
my all-time favorites! (Poor ol' Logan, though.) Even before the letter,
there are so many impassioned and/or gentle moments between the two.
When Logan first pops the bone claws, it's Jubilee's voice that seems
to rise over the chaos of voices as she cries out to him, "No! Get outta
my way! I gotta go to him! WOLLLVIE!"

I'd forgotten about
that. It's in 57 -- along with one of the saddest moments of Logan's
life, the death of Mariko.

I'd also forgotten about
the issues that follow, 58-59. Needing to shake his depression and grief,
Wolverine takes a case behind Professor X's back -- the rescue of a
kidnapped child. He grabs Jubilee as she charges downstairs to see "a
shirtless Luke Perry doing a TV interview" and tells her to pack a bag.
Like a *lot* of the earlier _Wolverine_ issues, these show their partenership
quite well. And include that creepy critter, Terror, for added laughs.

Another recommendation
from the _Wolverine_ series is #60. Much more somber throughout, it
opens with Logan meditating in the rain at Mariko's grave, struggling
with "feelin's and memories, tryin' to come to terms," as he tells Jubilee.
She's right there with him, trying to comfort him with a hug, trying
to help him "get a grip."

"This is the letter
that Wolverine wrote to Jubilee in 'Wolverine #75'. With this being
the Wolverine and Jubilee site, I just thought it should be archived."

Dear Jubilee,

This is just to say
that I am going away because it is the best thing I can do. Without
my adamantium-laced skeleton, and my healing factor not being what it
used to be, I ain't hardly the best any longer. I am just a liability
to the rest of the team. I should retire my pinstripes before I get
traded to the minors. I understand that you are going through a difficult
time right now. I wish I could stay here for you, but it just cannot
be. I am not going to tell you that you have to be strong, because you
are one of the strongest people I have ever met. You have the strength
to go on being happy and have fun, despite the bad things that happened
to you and the horrors you have seen. You don't have a callus on your
soul like some folks who have had it half as bad as you. So, you go
on laughing, darling. Hold on to your wonder--Aww, here I go getting
preachy! You just stick to professor Xavier like glue, do you hear me?
He did all right by this Canuckle-Head and he will do good by you! And
remember that I will always miss you...more than you will ever know.

Love,
Logan

A great moment takes
place in Generation X 27. Jubilee has been captured by Bastion, and
he is trying to get her to give information on the X-Men. He shows her
Cyclops visor, saying Cyc is dead.

Jubilee: "For the record
Pinky.. Im already tired of this game. Aint no way.. NO HOW.. yer gonna
make me believe ya went and killed all the X-Men while i was sleepin.
I dont care how many visors you throw at me! I ain't..

Bastion: "I didn't say
they were all dead. Yet. Daria, open the window"

Jubilee: "Hope I got
one with.. a view........ omi.. (tear in her eye)

Image of Wolvie hooked
up to a bunch of machines, battered and bruised.

Jubilee: "Wolvie?"

Bastion: "He cant hear
you"

Soldiers attempt to
get him to talk, and he doesn't. They then shock him.

Wolvie: "P-please....
Stop..."

Bastion: "You can end
this suffering Miss Lee. Just tell us what we want to know. Tell me.
Tell me and I'll let you go free."

Jubilee begins to laugh
uncontrolably

Jubilee: "Ya almost
had me there, huh! You almost convinced me he was the real Wolvie gettin
Fried! But ya' had to go and push it.. too far! Too flamin, freakin,
flappin far!"

Bastion: "Oh really.
How is that?"

Jubilee: "It was the
"...Please... stop..." Any Wolverine I ever knew would die before he'd
beg!"

It just shows how much
Jubilee beleives in Logan and his character.

Later in Zero Tolerance,
when the X-Men are about to escape the compound, Bastion is about to
stop them. Jubilee is in the controll room, and throws herself on the
controll panel, allowing the X-Men to escape, and causes Bastion to
beat her. This shows Jubilee's self sacrificing attitude towards Logan
and the other X-Men.

Finally, at the end
of Zero Tolerance, in Wolvie#117, the X-Men have escaped zero tolerance,
and are hiding in the surrounding desert. Jubilee has escaped, and is
lost in the same dessert. In the middle of a battle, Wolvie picks up
Jube's scent. Jubilee is fighting a Supreme Sentinal, and Wolvie finds
her just in time to save her (Of course). After the battle,

Jubilee: "Wolvy? Dont
say anything Wolvy.. Just hold me tight."

This is a great example
of Logans love for Jubes. He leaves the rest of the team in the middle
of battle, just to save her.

In Wolvie# 118, the
tables are turned, and Jubes saves Wolvie from a Sentinal just in time.

My fave moment would
be in X-Men 99, during the storyline when all the mutants on Earth were
turned into regular humans by the High Evolutionary. It starts (page
one of two pages) with Jubilee, human fleeing for her life down an alley.
Where she is isn't said, Boston? New York City? Los Angelos???, but
she's being chased by a group of hoodlums who want to gang rape and
then murder her, or at least ruff her up. One of the skanky punks has
her by her hair when out of the shadows Wolverine steps into save her
life.

Keep in mind he's also
human, with no super-senses so how did he find her? That question has
never been answered to my satisfaction. Wolverine is also dying of adamantium
poioioning and he's quite a mess. After telling her he won't bother
the High Evolutionary, like Jubey ask's him too, he tell's her to take
care of herself because she wont have him to watch her back anymore.
Then staggers off to go hunt down Creed. Leaving her alone, after he
tells her to go home and stay there.

Why do I like this seemingly
lackluster mini-plot sooo much as to call it My Fave Moment? Several
reasons, first what the HECK is Jubilee doing in some urban alley all
alone, so far from home and her gaurdians The White Queen and Banshee?
We all know she's headstrong and an adventure-seeking adrenaline junkie,
who quite possibly loves the street-life. GenX never showed that side
of her, but this mini-plot does or something else intriguing.

Then there's the mystifying
question, how did Wolvie know she was in danger? There are myraid of
answers from the fabulous to the mundane, my fave being Jubilee and
Wolvie have a spiritual rapport that has nuthin' to do with being mutants.

I also love the dialouge
between them in this ish, Terry Havanagh really knew his Wolverine and
Jubilee. The subtle ways they communicate, like how he show's his dipleasure
at her, by calling her Jubilation, and she not taking it calls him hairball.
Really excellant, a must read!

i dont remember
what issue it was but it was in a generation-X magizine when
jubilee went into the woods to look for wolverine and she talked about
how
much she missed him and they got all sentimental and then hugged it
was
moving.

Brassfinger(From Yezra:
That'd
be from Gen-X #6, August 1995. I love that issue... very Logan and
Jubie-like at the end. Je tells her that he needs her and he's proud
of her
like a father would be....)
